Search for: [Abstract = "asthma were included in the following groups\: group I – children withnormal weight \/underweight, group II – children with overweight\/obesity.ResultsIn nearly ⅔ of the children, there was found a mild persistent asthma,including the clinical course of the disease and the treatment level.Between group I and II, no statistically significant differences wereobserved in the clinical characteristics, except for the parameters ofweight and BMI. There were no statistically significant differencesbetween the groups in quality of life as well as in any of its domains.A comparable contribution of different domains in composition of thequality of life was demonstrated in children in group I and group II.There was no significant relationship between the quality of life inchildren in group I and group II, and\: sex, age, asthma severity, thetreatment steps.There were no significant differences in the course of asthma betweenthe two analyzed groups during the last week. However, there was astatistically significant correlation of the degree of physical activitylimitation and indicator of the quality of life in group I, there wasborder line statistical significance in group II.There was no significant difference in the incidence of individualsymptoms assessed in the ACT test \(during the past 4 weeks\) betweenthe analyzed groups. Likewise, there was no statistically significantdifference observed in the assessment of the level of asthma control,calculated on the basis of ACT scores in the two groups. Regressionanalysis indicated no participation of ACT test scores, nor anysymptoms included in this test, with the level of quality of life inchildren of the two groups.The following analysis of the incidence of asthma symptoms in thepast 12 months did not reveal any significant differences, except forthe presence of exacerbations during this time period. Theseexacerbations occurred significantly more often in group I than ingroup II. Subsequent univariate regression analysis indicated asignificant relationship between the fact of asthmatic physical activitylimitation and quality of life in children only in group II.
